How do I know which item belongs to household effects?

Insured items
You can insure the following items individually or in combination:

Household contents: all movable property for private use incl. pets
Garden facilities: structural facilities outside the building which are not insured with the building or which must be insured
are insured with the building or have to be insured, such as retaining walls, ornamental fountains, paths,
mailboxes, etc.
Monetary assets: cash, traveller’s cheques, precious metals, securities, etc.
Third-party property: movable property and animals temporarily entrusted to you and the property of

Mobile homes and caravans with a fixed location: including permanently attached equipment and
accessories such as hobs. The household effects brought along in the mobile home/caravan can be insured as

Valuables: expensive individual items which, over and above the normal household contents cover, are to be insured against
risks, e.g. bicycles and e-bikes, sports equipment,
